Hello, I have been using IntelliJ with Camel Core and other projects for some time now.
It's usually easier to load just the specific module you are working on. However, if you really want to load the entire project ... I can share my IntelliJ settings, the workflow I use and what has been the user experience so far. First, I have configured my system the following way: OS (Linux): fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 IDE: Maximum heap: 4Gb IDE settings: - Maven Importer (configured on Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven -> Importing): VM Options for Importer: -Xmx1g - Shared Indexes (I think it's enabled by default, but make sure it's enabled and configured): Wait for shared indexes (on), Public Shared Indexes (download automatically - both JDK and Maven libraries) - Compiler (configured on Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler): make sure "Build project automatically" is turned off. With these settings, I even have some plugins like Sonarlint running automatically on the Camel Core codebase. This plugin performs much better than the builtin analysis from the IDE for large code bases like Camel. Running the tests and the debugging feature work flawlessly. Day-to-day workflow: - I build the project using maven daemon [1] before launching the IDE to avoid it from entering the polling loop + indexing for new files - I avoid using the builtin git commit support from the IDE, as it usually triggers the builtin analyzer. Instead, I do the commits via git CLI and the pull requests using the hub CLI [2] - I use the CLI to build the code/module if necessary. When doing so, I build only the required module. I have used settings rather comfortably on the following systems: - my desktop (a Ryzen 9 3900XT, 32Gb RAM and a 1Tb WD Black SN850 SSD) running Fedora Linux - my work laptop (a Lenovo P1 with an i7 9850H , with 32Gb of RAM and nvme SSD) running Fedora Linux - my old work laptop (a Lenovo P51 with an i7 6820HQ, with 32Gb of RAM and nvme SSD) running Fedora Linux - my personal laptop (an i7 macbook 16" with 16Gb of RAM) running OS X. Of these, the only one that struggles to handle the load is the MacBook one. When running with the battery, the indexing and build is enough to reduce the battery significantly (i.e.: from 100% to 70% or so). When running on AC, the indexing takes a very long time. So, I don't recommend (though I am curious to see how an M1 would perform with it). Some known problems / tips: - In general, you probably want to avoid IntelliJ indexing as much as possible. - About once a month or so, IntelliJ indexing gets corrupted so you have to invalidate its caches . - From time to time it's good to remove your local maven cache ($HOME/.m2/repository). The camel artifacts can consume a lot of disk space there and, over the course of time, it can make IntelliJ indexing very slow and contribute to the IntelliJ caching issue. 1. https://github.com/mvndaemon/mvnd 2. https://github.com/github/hub I hope this helps somehow.
